Ashes on the ground
Smoke fills up the sky
I´m on the battlefield, covered in the mud
Lord knows where I´ve been
Through the thick and thin

I had to learn to swim just to stay alive

And it´s funny how fast
Everything can change
How this little boy grew up and became a man
I was running with the Devil
Reaching for the highs
I was a soldier of fortune who gave it all

And only for tonight
For one last time I look into your eyes
I feel the flame inside my heart grows wild
The memories, the melodies I´m here
And I´m ready

I left my home town
I couldn´t settle down
I was drifting on my own through a wasted land

I´ve never known how
To go along with the crowd
Instead of following the rules I break them, oh

I walked through the fire
And I fought like a lion
I was dying to find
My way to the other side
I walked through the fire
I was searching for light
In the deepest night
And made it out alive

I´ve been waiting for this all my life
Now this battle cry goes out tonight
I´m walking through the fire
I don´t need your alibis
I´ll show the bleed in broad daylight

I´m walking through the fire

Ashes on the ground
Smoke fills up the sky

I walked through the fire
And I fought like a lion
I was dying to find
My way to the other side
I walked through the fire
I was searching for light
In the deepest night
And made it out alive

Walk through the fire
Walk through the fire
My way to the other side
Searching for light

In the deepest night
And made it out alive
